Johns Hopkins Press, 1963 - History - 254 pages
Forty years is a common measure of time in Middle Eastern history and fable, and for almost exactly that period - from th eBritish capture of Baghdad and Jerusalem in 1917 until the Suez crisis of 1956 - Great Britain was the paramount power in most of the Middle East. This book is about the establishment of that power, the uses to which it was put, and the reasons for its decline after 1945.
